Sociological Approaches to the City as A Place of Struggle and Discrimination and Its Reflections on Popular Culture: Urban Revolution and Housing

Abstract

This study traces the two approaches pioneered by Lefebvre (2003, 15-19, 73-78) and Rex and Moore (1967: 228-229, 270-273), who were influential in urban studies in the mid-twentieth century and differentiated by emphasizing the opportunities and limits of the city. After presenting a historical perspective and the development of urban theories, the study covers the process leading to urbanity, and includes theories about the right to the city and settlement-based class formations, which have formed a path in urban studies from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. The criticisms brought to urban studies are touched upon, around the views of Sayer (1993: 335-338), who went beyond the abstraction-based approaches. Among the criticisms are new trends in the study of space in urban studies.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, yirminci yüzyılın ortasında kent araştırmalarında etkili olan Lefebvre’in (2003: 15-19, 73-78) ve Rex ve Moore’un (1967: 228-229, 270-273) öncülük ettiği, kente dair fırsatları ve sınırları öne çıkarmasıyla farklılaşan iki yaklaşımın izlerini günümüze kadar sürerken toplumsal çerçevede kentin sorunlarını anlamaya dair potansiyelini sorgulamaktadır. Çalışmada kent kavramı ile ilgili kuramların izlediği gelişim ve tarihsel bir bakış açısının sunulmasının yanı sıra kent ve kentliliğe uzanan süreç ele alınarak yirminci yüzyılın ortasından günümüze kadar kent çalışmalarında bir izlek oluşturan kent hakkı ve yerleşime dayalı sınıfsal oluşumlarla ilgili kuramlara yer verilmektedir. Ardından mekâna dair soyutlamayı temel alan yaklaşımları aşarak gerçekçi bir zeminde ele almaya girişen Sayer’in (1993: 335-338) görüşleri etrafında kent çalışmalarına getirilen eleştirilere değinilmektedir. Eleştiriler arasında kent çalışmalarında mekânın araştırılması adına yeni yönelimler bulunmaktadır.
